Heavenly Father, Almighty God.

I humble myself before your Presence, 
I ask you to forgive me my sins and the sins of brothers and sisters.

Almighty Father, we have offended you, our ancestors have offended you and we all continue to offend you daily. 
Lord, have Mercy on us.

Almighty God, I ask forgiveness for my sins and the sins of my brothers and sisters. 
Forgive us Lord for breaking your commandments; forgive us Lord for not listening to your Word. 
Lord my God, with shame I present to you the state of this poor humanity as I implore your Mercy and compassion.

Lord I am so sorry to confess my sins and of my brothers and sisters, we are guilty Lord, we have insulted you with our pride, and we have defied you with our sins.


Lord I disapprove of to see how my own brothers and sisters are immersed in atheism, but have so many false gods.

Lord I see how children have turned against parents because they try to teach them what is right, I see rebellion in children, young people and grown ups.

Crime is on the increase in every city throughout the world, all laws are

despised and your laws are totally ignored. 
There is corruption even inside governments and most people will do evil at the cost of others.
Please Lord open up our ears to hear your voice, open our eyes to see the truth and our hearts to love one another.
Amen

Memo From God

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God.

Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help.
So, have a nice day. I love you.
P.S. And, remember...
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box.
I will get to it in MY TIME.
All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. 
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. 
If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. 
Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years. 
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.  
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine. 
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. 
There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, thing s could be worse. 
You could be one of them! Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you.
You may have touched their life in ways you will never know! Now, you have a nice day. God God has seen you struggling, God says it's over. 
A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God, please send to ten people (including me) please don't ignore this. You are being tested.

I am

I am, O my God,
but a tiny seed which Thou hast sown
in the soil of Thy love,
and caused to spring forth by the hand of Thy bounty.
This seed craveth, therefore,
in its inmost being,
for the waters of Thy mercy
and the living fountain of Thy grace.
Send down upon it,
from the heaven of Thy loving-kindness,
that which will enable it to flourish beneath Thy shadow
and within the borders of Thy court.
Thou art He Who watereth the hearts of all
that have recognized Thee from Thy plenteous stream
and the fountain of Thy living waters.
Praised be to God,
the Lord of the worlds.

Life Is A Journey

Life is a journey through many terrain

From gardens of pleasure to deserts of pain.
From an ocean of love to a jungle of hate
From mountains of glory to canyons of fate.
There's a highway for joy and a highway for sorrow

A road for today and a road for tomorrow.
So choose your path wisely and walk with care
If you follow your heart you'll find your way there.
I've been to the garden and planted seeds there I've been to the desert and felt the despair

I swam in the ocean and drank of it's wine I've done all these things since you were mine.
I climbed up the mountain to touch the sky I went to the canyon and started to cry.
I've traveled both highways, both today and tomorrow

I've basked in the joy and wallowed in sorrow.
My path has been chosen and I walk it with care
I've followed my heart and I'm on my way there.
So I'll just keep on walking till I find what I'm after
To mountains and oceans and gardens of laughter.

Blessing for Children

Gracious God, in the vulnerability of a child, we recognize our own fragility.

In their tender innocence, we are reminded that life is meant to be lived with curious and joyful abandon.

Help us, who are no longer children, to retain the freshness of childhood and to be the protectors and mentors of those whose lives are just beginning.

May we see in their eyes the clear window of heaven.

Guide us in the ways to keep all children safe and in your great love, O Lord, hold them in your peaceful embrace so they are not overcome by loneliness, fear, or danger.
We ask this for the sake of your love.
Amen.

IF YOU HAVE A DREAM

Don't wait for some distant day to come, it may be too late before you've even begun.
Not everyone will agree with all you decide.
Be true to yourself first and foremost.
The only important thing in life is what you do with the time you spend here on earth.
Don't cloud today with things that can't be undone.
You have no more control over yesterday or tomorrow, than you do the raging of your passions.
Do not quiet these dreams nor quench your desires.
For if you do, your journey is ended.
You have only today to begin anew and follow your dreams.
For in the end all we have are our memories.
When the twilight comes to us, let there be, no excuses, no explanations, no regrets!

Dear God

Dear God, heavenly Father, I thank you for my life on this whole wide world, 
however challenging and difficult it may seem sometimes or not.

Thank you for teaching me to understand and be understood, 
to love and be loved, to make my own decisions and respect the 
decisions of others, to learn from my mistakes and not judge others, 
to laugh when I am happy, to cry when I am sad.

Thank you for my friends, my fellow priests, my parish, and the people that
 come to us and for every other living creature I meet along my journey.

Thank you for giving me strength to overcome harsh conditions and accepting them, and do what's right for the benefit of the greater good, to rise above negativity and all to be done on your name.

In the Name of the Father and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen
